Can I take two computers (laptops both) and plug them together
directly from one nic to another with a "standard" ethernet cable?
Or do I need a crossover cable or something to do that? And if I
have the correct cable, will the two machines do some sort of
peer-to-peer networking more or less automagically or will it be
difficult to set up? One runs FC2, the other Mac OS X 10.3.7.
If they are both Gig nics a crossover cable is not needed.
Do laptops come with gig-E NICs?
Toshiba Tecra M2 does (e1000) .
